...homebody, and she prefers parties and premieres. "False," says Aniston. "What's fun about a premiere?" Aniston's most endearing trait may be that she's wholly lacking in movie-star pretension. She and Pitt are frequently spotted hanging out in L.A., easygoing and accessible, without an entourage or phalanx of bodyguards. They are often trailed by a photographer, but she doesn't gripe about the press. Not usually, anyway. Aniston recently settled--"amicably"--a lawsuit against two magazine publishers for running topless photos of her in 1999. "You pick your battles," she says. "I drew the line when someone...
...stroked on the face. Once demummified, the client is given a "waterfall massage"--a spraying by multiple showerheads. In September the North Carolina Association of Realtors will send 1,000 participants to a conference at Grove Park. Even before the conferees check in they will be greeted by a phalanx of massage therapists offering chair massages at registration...

"He cannot survive," says Hafiz Mazhar Liblani, "and if he sells out Kashmir, he will pay the price." Liblani has trained as a militant in a Pakistani-run camp and vows that he is ready to carry the jihad to Kashmir when necessary. That issue is a snarling...
...taking down the towers, Sept. 11 blew a hole through the errors of the past. New York's phalanx of city-planning types and regional thinkers has looked through that hole and seen an opportunity. Right away they started dusting off long-cherished schemes, some of which may very well come true. It's likely that any final plan will envision a major new terminal linking the Manhattan subways with suburban commuter rail systems. It will also probably re-establish several city streets that were covered over by the much despised "superblock" of the Trade Center plaza...
